Application filed January 19, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JORDAN M. Lovn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Watson, in the county of Marion and State of West Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Wrap-Holders for Theater-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to wrap holders especially adapted to be used upon theater chairs and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

An object of the invention. is to provide a holder of the character stated which is of simple structural arrangement and adapted to be applied to a theater chair without altering the structure of the same and when applied adapted to securely retain wraps, hats or other articles of apparel in a manner that the said articles when applied will not interfere with access to adjacent chairs or passageway-from the same.

With this object in view the wrap holder comprises eyes or guides applied to the seat of the chair and eyes or guides applied to the back of the frame of the chair. A flexible element is threaded through these eyes or guides and the article to be supported is interposed between the flexible element and the seat of the chair or the back of the frame of the same. When the seat of the chair is swung in a downward direction the flexible element is drawn taut whereby the artic-le is securely clamped by the flexible element against the chair and held in position.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of the theater chair showing the holder applied.

Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the seat.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the wrap holding means.

The chair is of conventional pattern and comprises a frame 1 to which is hingedly attached a seat 2 in the usual manner. Eyes 3 are positioned at the underside of the seat 2 in the vicinity of the free edge thereof and eyes 4 are attached to the said seat in the vicinity of the hinged edge thereof. The eyes 3 are closer together than the eyes 4. Eyes 5 are mounted at the back of the frame Specification of Letters Patent.
